"Wow. Our favourite place. Now it’s our favourite hotel. Perfect location, access to beach. What can I say about the staff - where to begin. Demetrius aka Jimmy was fantastic - he was so attentive, and friendly. Went over and beyond. Greeted us with a warm smile and always had an affable personality. He gave us great food recommendations. He solved our problems. And was incredibly helpful. He is the epitome of Greek hospitality. Made our stay so warming and comfortable. And we definitely will come back again. Alexandra and adriana were so hospitable - breakfast and teas and coffee with a smile. They were incredible. Very attentive and kind. They are lovely humans. Also the Asian lady was also very nice - sorry I couldn’t get her name - beautiful energy and kind soul."

"This hotel is one to watch, they are clearly trying to refurb to improve the overall experience. It was patchy in places dont get me wrong with some questionable maintenance, but these things do take time! My only real critique was the way the slats for the bed were made from overly thick wood (Not designed for slats) and screwed down! So wasn’t the most comfortable although I know some people who may enjoy that! The superior rooms all back onto their own shared pool so can make it feel private and you get your own sun loungers so none of the morning rush at other hotels which is a massive benefit! For the money I paid I really can’t complain! Definately one to watch!"

"We booked at the last minute after being stranded in Kos due to the recent air traffic control incident. We were tired & stressed & hoping to spend the day relaxing by the pool before our rescheduled flight. However, there is loud music EVERYWHERE in this resort (I know, we’re old!). It would be nice to have a pool area with no music for people who prefer a more chilled vibe. The food is unremarkable but plentiful - you definitely won’t starve here. The rooms are clean but need a bit of TLC (we had no warm water in the shower in the morning - lukewarm in the evening). The gardens and flowers around the resort are lovely & the staff are super friendly & helpful. Best suited for those looking for a lively resort atmosphere. It was a port in a storm for us - & we were grateful for it."
